Players that play The Last of Us Part II first will be able to appreciate and enjoy the game as it was designed as a standalone, complete isolated story. Some narrative details, characters and themes will have a deeper meaning if players do start with The Last of Us Part I.Taking at least an entire real-world day, The Last of Us Part 2 is rather lengthy for a linear narrative-driven game and nearly twice as long as its predecessor. The story is rather intense also, so you might want to spread this one out a bit.The Last of Us Part II was originally planned as an open world game with hub worlds, but later the game transferred to a more linear style as it better served the narrative.The Last of Us Part II was originally planned as an open world game with hub worlds, but later the game transferred to a more linear style as it better served the narrative.
Is The Last of Us based on a true story?
The Last of Us is loosely based on a genus of real fungi called Ophiocordyceps, which infects a few animal species, including ants and spiders, and hijacks their behavior. The fungus from The Last of Us is based on a real fungus that exists in nature today and is called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, or cordyceps. Cordyceps is often referred to as the “zombie-ant fungus” because it primarily infects ants and other insects such as spiders.There are thousands of species of cordyceps each designed to infect a particular species – luckily, humans aren’t one of them. The human body’s immune system is more advanced than that of an ant and has a higher internal temperature, which would protect it from cordyceps infection.
